Brown brings new soul sound

Teen-ager Chris Brown’s voice is already being compared to Michael Jackson’s in Jacko’s early, not-weird days, and Brown is also being called by some critics as the next Usher. He’s already caught attention with his hit “Run It.”

The time to catch this potential R&B superstar is now: Brown will appear in concert Saturday, Sept. 23, at Alltel Arena along with NE-Yo and a big list of impressive opening acts: Dem Franchize Boyz, Lil’ Wayne and Cherish.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets range from $27.50 to $47.50 and are available from all Ticketmaster outlets (975-7575, www.ticketmaster.com, Harvest Foods stores and Celebrity Attractions’ office at Third and Spring streets).

The menu at this three-dining-room New Orleans-inspired bistro is enormous and the service excellent.
